Breathing New Life into the Village of Katrishte
Tucked away in the scenic landscapes of Bulgaria, just one hour away from the bustling capital city of Sofia, lies the quaint village of Katrishte. Once a lively settlement, today it stands as a nearly abandoned village with only around 100 inhabitants remaining. But that is all about to change.
Promethean House has taken on the ambitious mission of revitalizing Katrishte with its new development project aptly named “Katrishte Village Homes by Promethean House.” This project aims to transform the village into a modern, eco-friendly living space that balances traditional charm with contemporary innovation.
The Vision: Reviving a Village, Creating a Community
The goal of “Katrishte Village Homes by Promethean House” is simple but powerful — to breathe new life into this charming Bulgarian village, making it a haven for modern living while respecting its natural surroundings and cultural heritage.
The project aims to attract new residents, visitors, and property investors by offering modern, high-quality housing solutions. Unlike typical rural developments, this initiative goes beyond building homes — it seeks to create a sustainable and self-sufficient community. The development focuses on sustainability, smart living, and promoting a healthy lifestyle for future residents.
A Village of Unique Natural Wealth
Katrishte is not just any village. Its location offers a unique blend of natural beauty, fertile lands, and resources that make it an ideal spot for sustainable living. Here’s why:
• Natural Thermal Water: The village is surrounded by areas rich in thermal water, known for its healing and health benefits.
• Natural Springs: Katrishte has two natural springs of drinkable water, offering fresh, clean water straight from nature.
• Abundance of Biofood: The region is renowned for its biofood production, with fresh, natural produce grown locally.
• The Cherry Capital: The area surrounding Katrishte is recognized as one of the largest cherry production hubs in Europe, offering a unique opportunity for agro-tourism and local food markets.
This combination of natural resources makes Katrishte an ideal location for those seeking modern living with the benefits of rural tranquility.
Introducing the “Katrishte Village Homes”
The first phase of “Katrishte Village Homes by Promethean House” is already underway with the development of Villa Georgia, the very first modern house in the village. Villa Georgia will be a shining example of what future homes in Katrishte will offer.
By 2025, the project will see the construction of 5 new smart, eco-friendly houses built to meet the needs of modern residents. Each house will be a perfect blend of luxury, sustainability, and technology, fully aligned with the latest green agenda and modern living standards.
Key Features of the Katrishte Village Homes
1. Smart, Energy-Efficient Homes:
Every house will be equipped with a smart home system, allowing residents to control energy, lighting, and appliances remotely. The use of green technology ensures maximum energy efficiency, reducing both costs and the environmental footprint.
2. 2, 3, and 4-Bedroom Options:
Flexibility is key to the project’s success. Buyers can choose from 2-bedroom, 3-bedroom, or 4-bedroom designs, catering to singles, families, and those seeking holiday homes or investment properties.
3. Luxury Amenities: Private Pools:
Each home will be equipped with its own private pool, providing a touch of luxury and leisure for homeowners. The pool areas will be seamlessly integrated with the surrounding natural environment.
4. Smart Village Concept:
Katrishte will be more than just a residential village — it will be a smart community.
• Smart Store: A modern store will be established within the village, offering fresh, daily products sourced directly from local suppliers and farmers. This concept supports the local economy while offering convenience to residents.
• Green Agenda Compliance: All homes and community projects will adhere to global green agenda standards, ensuring that the development is sustainable and environmentally responsible.
5. Sustainable Living:
With a focus on sustainability, the village will prioritize eco-friendly construction materials, renewable energy, and responsible use of local resources like water and food. Residents will be able to enjoy a green lifestyle with access to fresh biofood, natural water, and renewable energy solutions.
The Village Store: Smart, Local, and Convenient
Another key feature of the Katrishte Village Homes project is the creation of a smart store within the village. Unlike traditional shops, this store will operate as a community-focused hub, offering daily products from local suppliers and farmers. This initiative will support the local economy and offer convenience to residents, promoting healthy and eco-friendly living.
The store will be equipped with smart technology, making it easier for residents to order and pick up products with minimal effort. This approach aims to reduce food waste and ensure fresh, high-quality local goods are always available.
The Journey Has Already Begun
Promethean House’s work in Katrishte has already begun, with the first house, Villa Georgia, under construction. This home is set to be a flagship for the entire project and a demonstration of what potential homeowners can expect. By the end of 2025, 5 new homes will be built, with more to follow as the community grows.
The village will not only offer new housing opportunities but will also become a destination for those looking for a tranquil, modern lifestyle with access to natural resources. With the backing of Promethean House, Katrishte is set to become a model for rural redevelopment in Bulgaria and beyond.
